From Comic Con to the kite festival, from the Great South Run to Beach Dubbin, there are plenty to choose – especially as Portsmouth hosts the commemorations for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Many more dates will be added to our calendars in the coming months as more and more event details are confirmed, but here are some of the biggest and best events we are most looking forward to this year:

At 11am there will be a two-minute silence followed by the service. A wreath laying ceremony at the Cenotaph will conclude the morning’s events. This event is open to all members of the public.
